From on-chain data, there has been a recent change in the accumulation trend of Bitcoin. Over 100,000 newly entered crypto whales are buying BTC at a record-breaking speed, currently holding more than $120 billion worth of Bitcoin assets.

What does this phenomenon imply? Many market participants believe that this accumulation behavior by institutions and large holders often precedes price increases. Whether 2026 can become the year of Bitcoin depends largely on the subsequent movements of these funds. Historically, Bitcoin's performance over the past decade has surpassed many traditional assets, and this wave of new whales entering the market seems to indicate that a new consensus on the long-term value of BTC is forming.

Wow, 120 billion USD. Are these whales really not afraid? I feel like this wave is a bit too fierce.

Wow, $120 billion... These whales are really going all out, but then again, who doesn't want to accumulate?

Whales are quietly accumulating, and we're still here debating whether to buy or not.

Wow, $120 billion? These new whales really dare to bet big. Do I feel something's a bit off?

120 billion USD? Damn, these new whales are really daring to throw in, just afraid of another wave of bagholders... Big players buying and buying ≠ prices definitely going up, will history repeat itself? Who knows. New consensus? Or just the same old trick to cut the leeks? Let's wait and see the show. My only thought about whales hoarding coins: do they know something I don't? They're already hyping 2026 as the Bitcoin year, but it hasn't even arrived next year, and they're already painting a pie.
